So long, Cynthia Gervais – Hello, Sophie Rondeau!
Everyone who has been involved in the Network is acquainted with Cynthia Gervais. From the very inception of the project, dating to a little over four years ago, she has been coordinating its program of activities so dear to her heart. She has contributed strongly to the Network’s progress to date, in particular by listening to students and by first attempting to find out more about their interests in order to accompany them in the realisation of their projects. However, the time has come for Cynthia to take up new challenges.
